After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Axmouth and Branscombe accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Axmouth and Branscombe. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Axmouth and Branscombe conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.

Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
